A student tag day will be conducted at the University soon to raise funds for preserving the boyhood home oi Robert E. Lee, Stratford-on-the-Potomac. The local effort is part of a state-wide campaign in the colleges headed by Dr. Reed Smith of the University as state college chairman.

It will be s memorial similar to that of Washington at Mount Vernon and the pro posed Woodrow Wilson memorial in Columbia.

One will be delivered in th( University chapel in conjunction witl the campaign here. The Confederate flags are to be usee as tags in soliciting from students Every cent raised from their sale goes directly toward preserving the historic Lee home, as the flags ar< being donated to college canvassers according to Dr. Smith. Students of the University arc ear nestly asked to cooperate in the sue cess of the movement.

POLITICAL POT . (Continued From Page 3) thelcss a powerful politician; hence he should win by a walkaway. Of course there is always the possibility of a dark horse being run in but up to the time The Gamecock went to press nothing could be learned of another candidate entering the race for president. E. L. Farmer, also of the Wood's clan and a contemporary of Calhoun Clement, is the only man who has definitely announced himself for the position of vice-president. Mr. Farmer is almost a newcomer in the field of politics but if he has no opposition, why of course he will be elected. The lad with the shining red locks of hair who hails from the wilds of Horry county, has announced himself for the position of valedictorian of the society. Of course we refer to none other than the honorable "Red" Jones, the junior president of^ the Clariosophic society this year. "Red" should win by a "kayo" as he has a powerful following in Tammany hall as well as the society at large. As far as it could be learned "Red" has 110 opposition. "Governor" League, Carolina's bombastic cheerleader, has announced himself for the position of junior orator of the society. League is a speaker of ability and has 110 less than 12 medals to show for his ability as an orator. He should win out easily, particularly as it seems that he will have 110 opposition. In the race for critic of the society, J. J. Mack, the strong boy of North, seems to hold the whip hand. As he also has no opposition he should win by a knockout. Mack is also a Tammany man. Of course there is always the possibility of a dark horse slipping in to run against these men but as we go to press the men named and discussed above are the only ones who have definitely announced themselves for the positions. Now for the Euphradian elections. As there are seven seniors in this society the race for president should indeed be a hotly contested one provided all of these men run. As this election comes one week from tonight, we can not cover this election as close as that of the Clariosophic, because developments will materialize later in the week. Two men have announced themselves for president of this society. 1 hey are S. E. Brown and W. Frank Taylor, both of Tenement 14 and loyal Tammanyites. Mr. Brown has ceased to sleep nights 011 account of worrying about the outcome of the elections. "Erasmus" has been a faithful society man 3SS58C0C0S8C03CK I HALF I T I 525 I 536 I 535 I S4C I $4J jj This is a rare c BS; a great reduction. H then to reduce th< ? color coat is here foi 1 Coggin: for four years, having held many offices from tune to time. He should i win on his past record. Mr. Brown ] has endeavored to obtain "Punk" At- < kinson for his campaign manager, but i so far, in so far as this writer could < ascertan, "Punk" has not yet con- I sented to do this. Frank Taylor, the president of K. S. K. is runing on his record of cam- < pus activities and service. Mr. Tay- J lor has held the position of literary c,ltI9 *'le society. He is a politician I of ability and should be in the thick I of the fight. It would not be a big i surprise to see him president when I the smoke of battle has cleared away. No one has definitely announced himself for the position of vice-prcsidcnt i but it is safe to say that one of the seniors in the society will occupy this position next term. The same condition exists in the race for literary critic. As we go to press 110 candidate for the position of senior valedictorian or junior orator of the society had announced himself as a candidate for this position. Developments will 110 doubt materialize in these races this week. The societies' committee on the Carolinian constitution met yesterday afternoon and will have a constitution drafted and ready to go before the societies next week. This constitution will probably show only girls eligible this next semester for the position of editor. j COLUMBIA TWO DAYS ONLYNIGHTS 8:30?MATINEE THE GREAT DRAMAT] | A COMPANY OF ] | NOT A MOTIO (A Guaranteed GILBERT PRESE | (By Arrangement wit I "JOURNE j BY R.
